Ricky Ponting also shared his insight on the future coaching plans of Delhi Capitals.
Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting has confirmed he will not consider taking over the vacant role as England's white-ball coach, as he focuses on his other commitments and future coaching opportunities.
The post has been linked with the recent departure of former Australian cricket legend Matthew Mott, but Ponting has made it clear that international coaching is not a priority for him at the moment.
Speaking at the ICC Review, Ricky Ponting explained that his current life situation does not suit the demands of an international coaching job.
When asked about the role of England coach, Ponting said, "No, I would never actually consider doing that."
He cited his other commitments, including television work and as requiring more time at home. He also stated that coaching England would feel "a bit different" given his Australian background.
"I'm saying that international jobs aren't really where my life is at right now because international jobs take too much time. I have other commitments as well, my own," he said. With the TV work and the things I do and trying to balance that with spending quality time with the family, which I haven't had much in the last couple of years."
"Coaching other international teams is one thing, coaching England for Australia is probably a bit different, but I have a lot on my plate at the moment," he said.
Because I am coming to UK in next couple of months with some other engagements.,,
"I would love to coach in the IPL again because I've had a great time here every year that I've been involved, whether it was in the early days as a player or those two years," he said. What I spent as a head coach in Mumbai and then I played for seven seasons, Delhi unfortunately didn't work out the way I wanted and certainly the way the franchise wanted me to go there. There was an effort to improve the team and unfortunately it did not happen. "
